Music technology, built with artists

Technology for better craft.

Everyone in music knows the feeling: the work around the music keeps growing, and the music gets squeezed. We build technology that takes some of that weight off and leaves the creative calls with the people who make them. Where are you coming from?

Hand over the chores. Keep what makes it yours.

I play or produce music You meant to make music tonight. Instead: searching, sorting, fixing, and a new AI tool offering to do the fun part for you. This is me → I run a label or promote events Great line-up. Half-empty room. You send more, post more, pay more, and still feel further from the people who used to just show up. This is me →
The common thread

Different rooms, same feeling.

Behind the decks or behind a label, the story sounds familiar. Every new tool promised to save time, and somehow there's more to manage. The music, and the people around it, get less of your attention.

That's where we start: with how it feels on your side, before any technology.

What we believe

Your call. Your scene.

Your call: you decide what plays, what stays and what goes. Our technology does the chores and is designed to show you why it suggests something.

Your scene: we build with the people who'll use it, and for everyone around them: artists, labels, promoters, crews and the crowd.

And yes, we use AI. It listens to thousands of tracks for you, works out key, tempo and structure, and keeps your library in order. It doesn't make your music, and it doesn't pick your set.

SoniQ Pilot analyses your music on your own Mac, and your audio files are never uploaded.

Labs

What we do with what you tell us.

Every problem on this page ends up in Cyphermatix Labs, our engineering lab for music. It lands in one of two tracks, and the people it's for try it early, in their own setups.

Track 1

Audio and music technology

The part you never see: software that listens to music and understands it, and connects to the gear and software you already use.

Serves: Artists
Explore Track 1 →
Track 2

Artist and industry workflows

The part you feel: tools that make preparing, creating and staying connected easier.

Serves: Performers, producers, labels and promoters

How we work together

Labs builds it. Community shapes it.

We don't build in isolation. Working professionals from the Community test early builds in their own workflow, and their feedback goes straight to the engineers on the project.

Labs

Where it gets built

Cyphermatix Labs researches, builds and tests: small working versions, on real audio and real libraries.

Community

Who it gets built with

The Cyphermatix Community brings the problems and tries early builds in their own setups. Everyone can join.

Meet the Community →

  • Test

    Invited testers use early builds with their own material.

  • Feedback

    What works and what breaks shapes what we change and explore next.

  • Credit

    People who shape a project are credited, with their permission.

Some Labs projects become products. SoniQ Pilot is the first, and may become a paid product after early access.

Built by all of us. Shared with all of us.

Our ideas, our feedback and our hours make these tools better. When a project succeeds, that success should come back to everyone who helped. Here's how that works, and what Cyphermatix promises along the way.

Labs project 01 · SoniQ PilotEarly access

SoniQ Pilot: born from one DJ problem.

Friday afternoon, a gig tonight, and twenty thousand tracks to get through. That's where SoniQ Pilot started. It's designed to help DJs understand big libraries, prepare sets and compare tracks in context, without turning selection into an automated playlist. You still choose what plays. Now in invited early access.

Who we are

An independent team, close to the scene.

We're based in the Netherlands and work side by side with DJs, producers and people across the music industry, because that's the only way to build tools that hold up on a real night.
